It was Erwin Perzy I, who created the very first snow globe in 1900. He lived in a house not too far from Schönbrunn where the beauty of Vienna brought forth his first design, the Basilica of Maria Zell, which contained snow made from ground rice.

Today this third generation business is carried on by Erwin Perzy III - producer of The Original Viennese Snowglobe.

These Smaller Snow Globes are about 2-3/4 inches in height with a 1-3/4 inch
diameter Globe - 45mm. We also stock a good selection of standard sized
80mm Vienna Snow Globes!
Warning - During Winter, we cannot ship these unless we see two consecutive
days of non-freezing weather! We will process & hold your order!
